3.0 out of 5 stars OK product, but get ready to learn a lot about networking!, September 6, 2006

At $50, it's a steal for what this product does, right? Well, sort of... I purchased this device in order to allow my desktop machine to run Linux and connect wirelessly to my Netgear wireless router, thus bypassing all of the issues with wireless and Linux. I expected a nice setup process; connect the adapter to my NIC, configure some properties, and be off and running. I was wrong. Wrong in the form of a three hour session of head-versus-keyboard style troubleshooting. Hopefully this review will shed some light on this mysterious device.

Let's just get it out of the way that Linksys's customer support is nonexistant. Forget trying to call them. Also, the provided documentation is submoronic at best, and provides absolutely no information on troubleshooting. I had to figure everything out myself.

This thing is a nightmare to configure. I unpacked the unit, connected the power, and plugged into my NIC. Interestingly enough, my computer didn't automatically obtain... Read more

This is a great product if you want maximum compatibility with different operating systems and game systems. The range is decent on the wifi. The configuration is basically set and forget. You have to know a little about wifi networks but not very much. The setup is extremely basic and supports WEP and WPA.

If its so great, why do I give it 4 stars? It doesnt handle fast downloads for an extended period of time very well. I have FiOS (15mb/2mb) and can rarely get over 10mb (may be cause of the wifi signal which is normally between 30% and 60%). If you download large files alot that are over 100mb or even up to 1GB, the wifi seems to get out of sync and the unit gets very hot to the touch. After a while, it just drops the wifi connectivity requiring a reboot of both the wifi router and the game adapter. I'm sure it has to do something with the WEP encryption going out of wack. Most likely a bug in the firmare.

This is a great product and it is designed... Read more

I'm not gonna bore you with the 192.168.x.x number.. oops. Not sure what the other reviewers are complaining about. But my personal opinion is these little Linksys Adapters were EASY! And this is compared to other wireless adapters I've TRIED and gotten TIRED of. I've installed many for friends and have found that these babies are alot more stable than them. I suppose this was intended for Gaming. But I stumbled upon this while setting it up to work with my little brothers Xbox online and actually just left it connected to the computer i was using to set it up on. Sure beats D-Link USB, Netgear doohickies, or even Linksys' very own wireless PCi Adapter. I found their software inaccurate and unreliable. With these linksys adapter you DON'T have to install software on your computer. Sure maybe for the initial setup to get it to communicate with your wireless router and then that's IT. You can just plug it into your Ethernet port (PC, MAC, Xbox, etc..) I only recommend these for... Read more
